Motor Rifle Division

Famous quotes containing the words motor, rifle and/or division:

    “The motor idles.
    Over the immense upland
    the pulse of their blossoming
    thunders through us.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Many times man lives and dies
    Betweeen his two eternities,
    That of race and that of soul,
    And ancient Ireland knew it all.
    Whether man die in his bed
    Or the rifle knocks him dead,”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
